Product Description
This book is an useful and invaluable resource for both collectors and dealers of Native American art forms. Focusing on the traditional works of the Southwest, such as silver jewelry, beadwork, quillwork, pottery, rugs, baskets, fetish carvings, and katsina dolls, collectors are offered guidelines to help them identify quality in contemporary Indian art, distinguish what dealers are reputable and which are not; learn how to recognize fraudulent work and know what to do if non-authentic merchandise is purchased; and learn more through recommended reading lists. Indian artists and art experts explain not only the dynamic history and technical process of their crafts, but also present personal views into their creative worlds. Beautiful, colored photographs highlight the intricate details of each craft.

A GOOD PRIMER July 24, 2008

From the Indian Arts and Crafts Association, an organization created to promote, preserve and protect authentic Indian art, this is a very good book for beginning collectors of Native American Arts and Crafts. Although it is not as detailed as it could be, it is a great place to start. With thorough descriptions and photos, it explains what you should look for when looking at pottery, jewelry, baskets and other Native crafts. It also gives a crash course in identifying fraudulent and mass-produced works. Each section (pottery, jewelry, Navajo rugs, etc) is written by an expert in the field and is well thought out and clearly presented. Even a more experienced collector will find something new. If you are interested in collecting Native American works, this is an invaluable guide to starting off right.
